Welcome to Oslo! Our wedding will take place on Saturday, August 22, and we recommend arriving around Wednesday, August 19, so you have time to rest and get comfortable in the city before the celebration.

Below you’ll find a rough outline of what we’re planning for the week. It’s not a strict schedule, just ideas and suggestions for how we might spend time together before and after the wedding.

We know many of you will be traveling from far away, and it might be tricky to keep everyone together all the time, so please feel free to explore Oslo on your own if there’s something specific you’d love to see or do.
The plan is simply here to give you an overview and help everyone enjoy the city at their own pace.
